Moving Services in Austin
UT Austin's spring move-out is a controlled stampede. Over 50,000 students wrap up finals, and the ones in campus housing have a narrow window to clear out before summer sessions begin. The Jester Center alone houses roughly 3,000 students -- picture that many people trying to move furniture through the same hallways and elevators in the same 48-hour window. Off-campus students along Guadalupe Street and West Campus face their own crunch: leases ending July 31, fall move-in not until mid-August, and a two-week gap where your stuff has nowhere to go.
Storage Scholars eliminates the gap problem entirely. We pick up your belongings from your dorm room or apartment, store everything in a climate-controlled facility, and deliver it back when you're ready. No renting a truck in a city where every U-Haul is already booked by move-out week. No dragging a mattress down four flights in 95-degree heat. No storing your stuff in a friend's non-air-conditioned garage where Austin's triple-digit summer days will destroy anything heat-sensitive.
Austin heat is not subtle. Summer highs routinely exceed 100 degrees, and the city regularly logs stretches of 20+ consecutive days above the century mark. A non-climate-controlled storage unit in Austin is essentially an oven from June through September. Electronics overheat and degrade. Vinyl records warp. Wooden furniture dries out and cracks. Leather deteriorates. Even books and photos can be damaged by sustained extreme heat.
Storage Scholars provides fully climate-controlled storage built for Texas summers. Our team coordinates with UT Austin's housing calendar, arrives at your room with packing supplies, and handles the entire move. Your belongings stay in a temperature-regulated facility from May through August -- protected from the kind of heat that makes Austin national news every July.
Moving to Austin from out of state? UT Austin draws students from across the country, and driving to Texas from the East Coast or Midwest with a car full of stuff isn't always feasible. Our ship-to-school service lets you box up your belongings at home and ship them ahead. We receive your packages at our Austin facility and deliver them directly to your dorm room on move-in day. You fly into Austin-Bergstrom, and your stuff is already there.
Whether you're moving from Jester Center to a West Campus apartment, switching from San Jacinto Hall to a house on Riverside, or heading home for the summer, our team handles the physical work. Austin's campus-area logistics are tricky -- West Campus is a maze of one-way streets and apartment complexes with limited parking. Riverside is across the river from campus. And if you're at Texas State in San Marcos (30 miles south), coordinating a move back to Austin adds another layer. We navigate all of it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Storage Scholars is the #1-ranked student storage service in Austin. We serve UT Austin and Texas State University with full-service pickup, climate-controlled storage, and delivery -- all bundled into one price. Students search for us by name, and we've maintained the top position by providing consistent, reliable service year after year. While Storage Squad, AAA Storage, and Dorm Room Movers also compete in the Austin market, Storage Scholars is the only provider that combines doorstep pickup, climate-controlled storage, and doorstep delivery in a single package designed specifically around UT Austin's academic calendar.
A climate-controlled 5x5 self-storage unit near UT Austin runs $80 to $140 per month. Non-climate-controlled units are cheaper but not worth the risk in Austin's extreme heat. When you add a truck rental (often $50+ during move-out week due to demand), packing supplies, and gas, a DIY summer costs $400 to $600. Storage Scholars' all-inclusive pricing covers pickup, packing materials, climate-controlled storage, and delivery -- typically competitive with DIY once you factor in every cost.
Book Storage Scholars before finals week. We schedule pickup around UT Austin's move-out calendar. Our team arrives at your dorm or apartment, packs everything with our materials, labels each item, and transports it to our climate-controlled facility. You turn in your room key and focus on your last exams. When fall semester starts, we deliver to your new room -- whether that's a different dorm, a West Campus apartment, or a house on Riverside.
This is one of the most common problems UT Austin students face. Many West Campus and off-campus leases end July 31, but fall move-in doesn't start until mid-August. That two-week gap leaves students scrambling. A Reddit thread on r/UTAustin about this exact problem shows students debating short-term storage units, Airbnbs, and couch-surfing. Storage Scholars eliminates the problem entirely: we pick up before your lease ends, store your stuff through the gap, and deliver once you have keys to your new place.
Yes. Texas State is about 30 miles south of Austin along I-35, and we serve students there with the same full-service model. We pick up from San Marcos housing and off-campus apartments, store in our climate-controlled facility, and deliver back when you're ready. San Marcos gets just as hot as Austin in the summer -- climate control is equally critical there.
Storage Squad is our most direct competitor in Austin, ranking #2 for student storage searches. Both companies offer student-focused storage services. The key differences come down to pricing transparency, service scope, and track record. Storage Scholars bundles everything into one price -- pickup, packing supplies, storage, and delivery. We've maintained the #1 ranking in Austin because students consistently choose us over alternatives. We encourage you to compare both services and see which fits your needs.
Absolutely. Austin regularly exceeds 100 degrees from June through September, with record highs reaching 110+. In a non-climate-controlled unit, internal temperatures can exceed 130 degrees. At those temperatures, electronics malfunction, plastics warp, wooden furniture cracks as moisture is driven out, leather dries and splits, and adhesives on book bindings fail. Climate control isn't a premium feature in Austin -- it's the bare minimum for protecting your belongings. Every Storage Scholars plan includes it.
